Dutch Spring Run 2009: 2 & 3 May

[dinkel]

Hi all.

The DSR 2008 was a bit of a surprise maiden voyage. I hoped for 25-something but hey: 63 boys 'n girls had an epic weekend out, as can be seen here: Dutch Spring Run 2008

We're currently organising the sequal Sat 2 & Sun 3 May 2009.

We'll start off in the center of Holland and will drive along the beautifull and unique Dutch landscapes.
To get the idea: Amersfoort - Kampen - Salland - Twente - eat and hotel there - through Germany (unrestricted Autobahn) - Achterhoek - Veluwe back to Leusden for a goodbye tapas dinner.

Check diary if this fits into your 2009 plans, check the above PH topic if this is for you and ask the folk that did the first DSR. You won't be dissappointed.



Please subscribe in this topic if this is one for you (see the list on the last page here), I'll give more details along the way by mail only and to subscribers only.

PM me to get you on the def-list asap please, I'll then mail route and horecaf specs and will answer all your questions.

This one is free, except for:
- 25 euro charity donation per person, to Cystic Fibrosis R&D.
- (opt. hotel & restaurant Fri), lunch & restaurant / hotel (Sat), lunch & diner (Sun).
My guess for Fridaynight to Sundaynight: about 290 euro's p.p plus fuel.

Cheers, A.

ETA: status update.

A fab start already, thanx guys!

[dinkel]

I ran the first day in my Civic! It's not about 'exotic', all can join in.

Rain? Check the picture! Jans 6 litre in full sunshine . . . It will be sunny again of course.

[dinkel]

Nice lineup so far, you guys want a cap or a bodywarmer to go with this DSR?

[dinkel]

I'd like to meet Mrs F. Just check the legend and all that . . .

5 USA said:

What's the formal booking procedure??

List up here . . . Somewhere in Feb I'll make things def and PM the group.

How was the food 'n beverage guys?
I didn't get complaints about sundays places. Except about the ample parkingspace

[dinkel]

Find something decent in W'wijk then? Or a BBQ on the 'meadow'?

[dinkel]

Definately be there:
1. Dink - passenger, might bring the family
2. Klassiekerrally (not sure in what car though...)
3. GTRene - silver Hartge Z V8
4. 900T-R - red Chim
5. Euroboy (probably the Abarth 500, but maybe the Spider again)
6. René 130i (loves rain)
7. Neluhz
8. Joop! - Beemer
9. 5 USA
10. flatline - blue Z3 M Coupe

I'd like to be there but I'm not sure yet:
1. Touching Cloth
2. Angrys3owner - that just had tooooo much going on to make it last year.
3. arebrec
4. Falcemob. Does it rain much in Holland in May?
5. ironictwist
6. Medic-one
7. shirt
8. L100NYY (few things to sort out first but fingers crossed)
9. BLUETHUNDER
10. chimtvr
................................

Sunday afternoon BBQ: starting at 3 then, convienient for our Brit guests. Winterswijk is a 2+ hour drive to Hook.

If not I'll consider Leusden tapas place Parador to make a 30 Eu p.p. menu: awesome place. And near the hotel. I'll try to arrange a discount for the hotel as well of course.

More of that later.

About costs:
All is free, I don't charge for the organising. Shirts or caps or bodywarmers or whatever in December. Think 25 euros per item.

I like to ask a donation per person for the Cystic Fibrosis organisation NCFS. My youngest daughter has CF and I make an effort every now and then. This seems like a good opportunity to get their offertory box out. Money is needed for R&D. Also 2009 is the NCFS 40th anniversery. A good cause run: 25 Euros p.p. would be awesome!

Wherever I go the sun shines so bring your sunglasses. To mr. Falce: top down!

[dinkel]

Cheers Klaas, will do

Paul!

[dinkel]

At 25 I'll start to do a logo for wear.

[dinkel]

Personalised.

[dinkel]

Andy's wearing DSR-gear eh?

[dinkel]

Should be big fun on the Autobahn

. . . but don't be afraid, I'll try and avoid roads like these.
